Well, not really my face, but a dead ringer.

Not the cop at the top, but the old party lower down on the left. Different glasses, trim the mustache a bit different, and there I am. It’s like looking in a mirror (I know, I should take better care of myself!)

Ever happen to you?

Just the opposite for me. I clicked on a link expecting to see my face, and I looked like I was a child molester lurking in an alley.
